Building Basic Stacks
A stack can be created in either of two ways:
- In native stacking, switches are connected
using either designated Ethernet data ports or dedicated stacking
connectors.
- In alternate stacking, switches are connected
using 10-Gbps Ethernet data ports that have been configured for stacking. These
ports are located either on the switch itself or on option cards installed on
the rear of the switch.
When planning and building your stack, be sure to follow port
compatibility and cabling recommendations as described in this chapter.

information about which switch series can be combined to form a stack.
